Boxing Day at Rienzi

Celebrated in Great Britain on December 26, Boxing Day is a day when employers traditionally boxed up gifts for their workers to thank them for their service throughout the year.

Rienzi invites families to enjoy some English traditions in Houston! The Garden Club of Houston has been busy decorating the house and grounds with lights and garlands. Look for holiday needlework and garden-themed ornaments on the Christmas trees. Admission is free.
